To all whom it may Be it known that nrnemssns or. eoeenns,

concern: I, SAMUEL NELSON, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Waterloo, in the county of Blackhawk and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyeglasses or' the following is a speci- Goggles, of which fication.

My invention relates to improvements in eye glasses or goggles.

An im ortant object of to provi the invention is e means whereby the frame of the glasses or goggles may be held in place upon the user, by an elastic element or band, en-

circling the head, so that the frame may be forehead, and when in nose, will position for proper use.

Other objects and tion will be apparent the following description, In the accompanylng part of this specification,

shifted upwardly upon the position upon the be comfortable, and retained in a advantages of the invenduring the course of drawings forming a and 111 Which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure l is an elevation of the inner side of the glasses or goggles,

Figure 2 1s a plan view of the same, Figure 3 is anv end elevation of the same,

Figure 4 1s a transverse section taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1, showing the glasses in use.

The glasses or goggles embody lens frames 5, which are circularly curved, and are connected at their tops, with head engaging bar a straight fore- 6, preferably intersecting therewith and formed integral with the same. The frames 7 ofany desired character 5 receive and hold lenses or construction,

either plainor colored. -The frames 5 are connected at their bridge 7, preferably inner sides by a nose formed integral therewith. This nose bridge is' arranged beneath and spaced from the forehead engaging bar 6, as shown. Formed upon 5 are lugs 8 referably therewith, and t apertures 9', for the of an elastic eleme t the outer sides of the frames formed integral ese lugs are provided with reception of the ends 10, such as. an elastic V elastic cord or band is adapted to en ir le the head of the wearer.

An important feature of the invention 18 I the location of the apertures 9 or points of attachment of'the flexible elastic element 10. These openings 9 are above the center of the lenses and also above the center of the nose engaging portionll-of the bridge 7. This elevated arrangement of these openings, serveto properly the elastic element 5. This pull is distributed between the forehead engaging bar 6 and the nose bridge. The frame will turn about the forehead engaging bar 6 and, as above stated, the pull is distributed upon the bar 6 and the nose bridge, and the pull upon the nose bridge is suflicient to retain the same in proper engagement with the nose, but not to exert excessive pressure upon the nose. When it is desired to shift the glasses distribute -the pull from out of the vision, the user may readily push the same upwardly upon his forehead, and

of course they will be held thereon by the described my invention, I

top of the frames, said bar being adapted to turn upon itslongitudinal' axis upon the forehead, a nose bridge connecting the and bridge being disposed in substantially the same lane, and an elastic head encircling ban attached to the outer sidcs of the frames at an elevation between the said bar and nose bridge, whereby the band may retain the glasses in the lowered position and will also hold them in place when they are turned upwardly upon the forehead and-rotated about the bar: I

In testimony whereof ture. I

I aflix my signaframes beneath the bar, said frames, bar,

SAMUEL NELSON.
